As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary (周年纪念), President Barack Obama has announced the establishment of one new national monument, and the expansion(扩大) of another. In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of forest will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size.
Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nation’ s land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (78)
They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas.
In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists(自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own.
The land’s new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations are forbidden there. (79)
It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting.
Some of Maine’ s politicians who want to protect the state’s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people’s jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U. S. Congress before making his decision.
However, those who support the president’s decision say the establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
选项
A、The national monument in Hawaii was created by President Bush.
B、There is no objection to President Obama’ s decision.
C、President Obama made this decision on his own.
D、The establishment of the new monument will lead to new jobs.
答案
B
解析
综合分析题。题干问的是“根据文章,下列哪项表述不正确?”根据定位句“在夏威夷,乔治·W·布什总统在2006批准建立的一处国家公园”可知A项正确;根据定位句“但是,来自缅因州和夏威夷的一些居民和官员则反对这些计划。”可知B项不符合文意;根据定位句“有些缅因州政治家…认为奥巴马不应该独断专行。”可知C项正确;根据定位句“支持总统决定的人认为新的国家公园的建立会…创造更多的就业机会。”可知D项正确。故选B。
